David Blaine to work magic on the NBA Audience

According to this link, master illusionist and stuntman David Blaine has been tapped to be an NBA pitchman in a new series of ads. Apparently, the tagline for the campaign is, "Unbelievable." And while it definitely seems unbelievable that the league is using a guy whose most publicized trick was locking himself up in a clear box and going on a cause-less hunger strike, I think AdFreak had the best line about the confusing choice: "Sure, [we] recently noted that Magic is still a force in basketball marketing, but we meant Earvin Johnson." Link via AdFreak.

DID YOU KNOW? Marlon Brando hated memorizing lines so much that he posted cue cards everywhere to help him get through scenes.
He even asked for lines to be written on an actress's posterior. (That request was denied.)
